Report of Shots Fired at Univ. of Oklahoma Was Apparent False Alarm

(CNN) — Police swarmed the University of Oklahoma in Norman after reports of a possible shooting on campus earlier Wednesday, but no evidence of a shooting was found, nor any victims.

School officials say normal operations have resumed at the school, including at Gould Hall, where the incident was reported. The school’s president, David Boren, was present during the situation and said there is no evidence shots were fired. He added the noise may have come from some equipment backfiring, according to WHNT’s sister station, KFOR.

Construction crews have been working near Gould Hall.

"At this time, there is no evidence that shots were fired." @UofOklahoma President David Boren

This looks like it may be another case of swating! Terrorists can just keep doing this so many times that America just wastes billions on responding to swating attacks! They do not need bombs anymore, just death by a thousand “swats!”
